Thanks for the reply. I did contact him and he said I do have it. However, I don't have a copy from the packet that I got from the Liaison. I have the Guard Annex but do not have Annex K. I was told from my friend that I should have copies of all the documents.

Thank you sir for the reply. I did look at my DD4 but only has two copies, DD Form 4/1 and DD Form 4/2 of Oct 2007. Exactly where it states about GI Bill Kicker and other educational benefits?

Look on the front, it will say something like "nothing else has been promised to me except what is included in the following annexes" or something like that and then it should list them. There will not be one for the GI Bill, but if you have the Kicker it will list Annex K (if thats the annex for the kicker, I dont remember off the top of my head).

Thank you for the reply. I think Annex K is the kicker but it is not listed on the front page. I am assuming only Annex A is listed because it has letter "A" on the (list name of Annex(es) and describe) section. I guess I didn't get the kicker, right?

ANY recruiter that promises the "KICKER" any more should be retrained. They are few & far between these days with IMARK being what it is...RI does not offer bonuses, kickers, MOS's to applicants because, by the time they get to MEPS, things change. All promises are made on the MEPS floor on the date of enlistment, after the physical.

If you are not a TIER 1, CAT 3A in a state critical MOS, you will not get the KICKER. Also, if your state's IMARK is all jacked up, you can't get a "control number" for a KICKER. Also, if it's low tide on an even day of an odd month & Venus is not inline with Saturn's orbit of the sun, you also may not get a gift-bag. Thanks for playing.

Down here in NC I did manage to get the kicker, it was mentioned by my recruiter, and showed up on the contract I signed at MEPS. OTOH, there wasn't a bonus to be had anywhere.....but since college money is what I really need, the kicker is just fine to me.

This is 100% truth in other states as well. Situation will change when private sector will start creating more jobs. For now NG is meeting / beating enlisting goals so they will continue to trim down all the "perks". It is almost better to wait these days and enlist when services will be pressed more to get people enlisted...you will simply get more in exchange for your soul...;-)
